Need a Hand?
Your Next Project Starts with Brownstoner
I did, Snapppy, and don’t tell Cobble I told you, but she eventually gave me ice cream too!
Six, the only thing left is for Jscheff to post a thread asking if cats are better than dogs 🙂 He seems to like brewing up a bit of controversy!
Speaking of tomorrow’s gathering, NPR had a feature this morning on the adult spelling bee at Pete’s Candy Store. Have you seen that, DH?
ROFL Cargar!!! And did you think about your behavior while sulking in your tent? 🙂
Wow – this is going to be a great day on Brownstoner! Ice cream trucks AND Park Slope parents, jscheff’s Atkins Ave thread, Bjork in BK Heights, what’s next?
“My short friends, one of whom was here yesterday, ask for things all the time. If it’s too much, I say, “No, I’m sorry sweetie, you had X earlier and you’re going to have the little treat we got earlier after dinner tonight. That’s enough for today.” And junior usually thinks about it for a minute and then moves on to the next thing we’re doing. Done. No crying, no fits. They know there are limits. Is that so hard?”
[Cobble, although I’d prefer you not refer to me as one of your “short friends”, I appreciate your not telling everyone about the tantrum I threw yesterday when you wouldn’t let me have ice cream, or about sending me out to my tent to “think about my behavior”]
Kens, thanks very much, as always, but I’ll probably go to W’burg directly from work. But, if you’re picking DIBS up at 55th & Park, I’ll walk over a block and you can pick me up at 47th & Park.
LOL Cobble! Perhaps our parents traded tips!
Arkady…I saw that. That stinks. It’s a really great article too. Post it in here.
Snappy – Nobody is looking at the tinyurl – they’re all dealing w/ building codes. Sigh.
